Hi John,
The latest tg3 driver in 2.6.18 has a recovery mechanism to detect
and recover from this kind of reordering problem. I suppose we can
add this chipset now if we're reasonably sure that it is reordering
MMIO. But it will be nice to actually see the recovery mechanism in
action catching this chipset.

Obviously it is between you and Dave to decide what is best. We are
carrying this patch in RHEL4 at the moment, so I didn't want to hold
it back from upstream. If you think you have a better solution then
"it's on you"... :-)
